Went through my first 40# so far ... putt putt putt .. may have to open it up soon ...
still waiting for the daytime high not to get over 50. With the daytime highs near 60 still, I don't use the furnace at all, and put about 4 logs per evening in the wood stove upstairs.
I would probably be leaving the windows open 24/7 if I lit up the Harman.

My stove is in a finished basement. I have a porch off the back of the walkout basement. I can leave those windows open and open a few upstairs windows if I need to. I just can't take the raw and dampness any more.
What a difference a little heat makes in the house. I'm Happy.

I've burned 440 lbs since October 8th and that includes the 60 lbs or more it takes to fill it up for the first fire. I figure it cost me about $66 to be nice and comfortable till I reload tomorrow.
It was worth every penny.
Fire that baby up and be happy.

Wow. Thats alot. Ive been using my tiny....tiny.. wood stove upstairs to take the chill out. BUUUUTTT... I have been waking up to a blistering cold 60*-62* or so and next week is looking like the nightly dips will get into the 30's. If theres one thing I hate(and there isnt'), its being cold .EasyRay wrote:I've burned 440 lbs since October 8th and that includes the 60 lbs or more it takes to fill it up for the first fire.

I figure its costing me $2.80 a day to stay nice and cozy. A nice chocolate bar a day would cost you that. And I don't eat chocolate.
The older you get the more you enjoy the heat. Especially when you can eliminate the raw and dampness in the house.
Its all good right now.

Oh, burned on low until yesterday ... wife thought stove was broke as it did not heat well after opening it up until it was fully shaken
"stove's broke, stove's broke ... for 6 hours"

I think you'll be nice and warm for the rest of the season.
I'll probably shake and fill once every day now unless it turns real cold. Then I will switch to twice a day. Up until now I have been trying to go every day and a half.

I never shut down from last year. I've been burning all summer for hot water. I've been slowly turning it up with this cold weather we have now.
